			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happy Friday everyone!</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve ever met me in a bar or seen me in a decent restaurant and asked &#8220;what&#8217;s a good beer&#8221; then you&#8217;ve heard me give an impromptu lecture on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_ale" target="_blank">brown ales</a> or how a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilsner" target="_blank">pilsener</a> is different from a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lager" target="_blank">lager</a>.  Yes, I&#8217;m a beer geek and it&#8217;s all because of a documentary called <a href="http://beerwarsmovie.com/" target="_blank">BEER WARS</a>.</p>
<p>This week, that documentary is available on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itunes" target="_blank">iTunes</a> (and apparently my <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_3" target="_blank">PS3</a> too but I can&#8217;t stop playing <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borderlands_%28video_game%29" target="_blank">BORDERLANDS</a> to check&#8211;help).  Don&#8217;t believe me?  Here&#8217;s the proof.</p>
<p><a href="http://ariasfilms.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/BeerWars-iTunes_v2.jpg" rel="lightbox[2117]"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2122" title="BeerWars-iTunes_v2" src="http://ariasfilms.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/BeerWars-iTunes_v2-300x218.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="218" /></a></p>
<p>(that&#8217;s the documentary on the &#8220;iTunes-&gt;Movies&#8221; homepage sandwiched between NEW YORK, I LOVE YOU and some Hulk cartoon while I download the latest <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fringe_%28TV_series%29" target="_blank">FRINGE</a>).</p>
<p>Of course I&#8217;m biased (dear FTC, I worked on it for almost three years but I am not being compensated for this mention&#8230; but if the director wanted to buy me some tasty cupcakes I wouldn&#8217;t say &#8220;no&#8221;) but I think it&#8217;s a pretty damn good doc.  Also, the &#8220;making of&#8221; was mighty interesting so I can&#8217;t wait for the behind-the-scenes book (hint, hint; nudge nudge).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I first downloaded <a href="http://www.apple.com/itunes/overview/" target="_blank">iTunes</a>, I deleted all those pre-made <a href="http://www.smartplaylists.com/comments.php?id=P45_0_1_0" target="_blank">smart playlists</a>. I don&#8217;t need <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes" target="_blank">iTunes</a> telling me which metrics to watch.</p>
<p>Years later, I saw my friend <a href="http://www.facebook.com/Toddsklar" target="_blank">Todd Sklar</a> post his 25 most played tracks and that got me curious.  I put together a new smart playlist and&#8230; before you look at this let me just tell you that I&#8217;m positive <a href="http://www.tuaw.com/category/itunes/" target="_blank">iTunes</a> missed a lot of play counts.</p>
<p>That said, here ya go:</p>
<p><a href="http://ariasfilms.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Top25iTuens010910.jpg" rel="lightbox[2011]"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2017" title="Top25iTuens010910" src="http://ariasfilms.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Top25iTuens010910-300x181.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="181" /></a></p>
<p>How about you?  Why don&#8217;t you post your 25 most played tracks.  Come on, we won&#8217;t judge you (much).</p>
<p>Need help?  In iTunes, click &#8220;File&#8221;, then &#8220;New Smart Playlist&#8230;&#8221; and use these parameters (FYI, I did this on my <a href="http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/stats/macbook-pro-core-2-duo-2.33-15-specs.html" target="_blank">MacBook Pro</a> but I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s practically the same on a PC):</p>
<p><a href="http://ariasfilms.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/MostPlayedParameters.jpg" rel="lightbox[2011]"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2018" title="MostPlayedParameters" src="http://ariasfilms.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/MostPlayedParameters-300x133.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="133" /></a></p>
<p>Looking forward to those lists and have a great Friday.</p>
